is cnn trying to kill ali velshi? what did he do here? >> ali -- >> for the 2008 crash coverage. >> it is a dramatic image that fully tells the story of how big this is and how dangerous it is. >> it does and it doesn't. >> if he saves one life, isn't it worth it? >> well, yeah. a lot of things you can do on cnn to save many lives but we can do that another show. there was a part of queens that burned down on monday night. people didn't know about this while it was happening which is odd when you think of it. 130 homes something like that that we have added up. >> 110 homes. >> and then 20 more had damage. >> 9:00 to 10:00 and midnight to 1:00 and we weren't aware of what happened. i found that out when i woke up the following morning. >> why is that? >> because there is so much going on. like an apocalypse. >> i agree. but manhattan island is three miles wide. that neighborhood in queens is five miles. not a long ways away. we are in a condensed area. and i guess i would have thought, too, with everybody with their cell phone cameras and whatever, that -- maybe there needs to b

then. thanks for being with me. i'm brooke baldwin at the cnn world headquarters here in atlanta lt let's go to wolf blitzer in louisiana. "the situation room" starts now. >>> happening now, congress comes back to work but the clock is ticking. unless lawmakers make a deal, automatic spending cuts and tax increases are just a matter of only a few weeks away for everyone. i'll ask a top member of the republican leadership if there's any room for serious compromise. >>> and if you own a home, deductions that save you money every year could be changing or simply going away. we're taking a closer look. >>> and ballpoint pens that hide poison needles and poison bullets. they sound like props in a cold war era spy movie. but they're part of a real assassination plot. we have details. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> we're just 36 days away from the painful across-the-board spending cuts and tax increases people here in washington are calling the fiscal cliff. today, we have new proof that people across the country not only are aware of what's going on, they're very, very

is extremely tight right now. here is the national cnn poll. the survey is out over the last week and a half. average them together. it's as close as you can get. look at these numbers, colorado is one of the eight battleground states. a very, very close contest. ift's why you hear the rhetoric and the candidates going to the battleground states in the last four days. >> paul steinhauser, thank you. >> we are talking chairs this morning. actor clint eastwood appeared on fox news to talk about his whacky republican national convention speech and how it came to be, how the chair came to be on stage with him talking to it. in case you missed the speech, here it is. >> what do you want me to tell romney? i can't tell him to do that. can't do that to himself. you're absolutely crazy. you're getting as bad as biden. >> now the acting, directing legend says it was an ad lib, which was obvious at the time. let's listen. >> i have to give john vioght a pat on the back. i was sitting with him and a couple other people talking about the economy. he said why doesn't anybody in hollywood ever speak up. i

in new york. and close to 5 million customers are still waiting for the power to come back on. >> cnn has the entire disaster zone covered this morning. our correspondents spanned out across lower manhattan and all up and down the jersey shore. >> first, the economic capital of our country is slowly getting back to normal this morning even while facing extreme damage. power outages and people having to walk for hours just to get to work. meantime, another hospital lost generator power in lower manhattan. right now hundreds of people are being pushed out of bellevue after hundreds of others were evacuated yesterday. our dr. sanjay gupta is live at bellevue but first to rob marciano. the governor says there will be no fares for subways, trains and buses but many of the bus and subway lines are still not up and running yet so how limited is transportation now? >> well, i can tell you from what we witnessed yesterday, it's very limited. for one thing the buses don't run at night, at least south of 23rd because it's too dark and dangerous. you come down here in the middle of the night and you

is wrong with you? >> i was watching it. and my first thought is why is cnn trying to kill ally? what did he do here? >> because it is a dram mastic image at how big this is. >> it does and it doesn't. i mean, if it saves one life isn't it worth it? >> well, yeah, but there is a lot of things that you can do on cnn to save lives. but you can do that on another show. there was a part of queens that burned down on monday night and people don't know about it while it was happening. which is kind of odd. there were 130 homes. >> 110 homes. well, i was anchoring this show from 9:00 until 10:00 and midnight until 1:00. and we weren't aware. >> why is that? >> there was so much going on. >> it was like an apocalypse during the night. >> we are in a condensed area and i guess i would have thought through with everybody with their cell phone cameras and whatever maybe there needs to be a better mechanism. for some time and there is a good thing it was shocking that it happened. >> it was a chaotic night. we'll come back and talk more about this odd through bromance sproutle out of this. believe it

chaffetz. we'll see you tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. "cnn newsroom" with carol costello beginning right now. >> thank you, soledad. good morning to all of you. stories we're watching right now in the newsroom. long lines for early voting in florida leads to chaos and anger. >> this is not cuba! this is not china! we cannot allow this to happen. >> one lawsuit already filed. a sign of things to come? >>> superstorm sandy also affecting your vote. it's hard to get to the polls when you can't gas up your car. >>> and rg3, the fabulous rookie, may have lost the game for the redskins, but he could have decided the election. have decided the election.

. and their desperation is now turning to anger. cnn's brian todd is on the island. he's joining us live. brian, tell us what's going on. >> reporter: wolf, we're in the new dorf beach section cedar grove avenue. this place is still flooded out even after the waters receded. people just barely able to kind of wade through the water, try to get to homes and assess damage. you've got a church that's flooded out here to your left, my right. and our photo journalist can pan back over this way down marine way. look down here with just the debris and people trying to gather things and bring things out and clear their homes of all the wreckage. what we know now, wolf, is that the bodies of two young boys who were washed away from their mother during the storm have been found. they were found in a marsh not too far away from here. now, that brings the death toll we think to a little bit more than the dozen people that we knew of before. exact numbers i don't have. but it's more than a dozen now just on staten island were killed by this. hundreds of homes have been damaged or completely destroyed. now we're goin

you. appreciate your time this morning. want to tune in tuesday night for cnn's live coverage of election night in america. our coverage begins at 6:00 p.m. eastern. >>> ahead on "starting point," look at this, a little girl, very upset. >> obama and mitt romney. >> honey, us too, we really are tired of covering this story. we'll tell you about that really adorable video of that sad little girl, that's straight ahead.

you, cnn didn't instruct me to be anywhere. we tried to get the story out as well as we could. and this is not our first rodeo. we paid close attention to safety concerns. >> people are watching ali on the screen and this is where -- it this looks like the first hour or two, and you look like, you know, you were really into it. but i was watching you in the fourth and fifth hour, and you really had -- i felt so bad for you. did you draw the short straw at cnn? and you are such a great business reporter, you know, what i really want to know this week, what's on the tax returns that mitt romney won't show us? that's what america wants to know. what's he hiding? >> the great thing is that ali velshi will tell us on that as well. and he is outstandingly courageous. we have to go. we're running late. >> if you don't like it here, come work for me. >> that is worse than standing in the water in atlantic city. >> that's true. >>> piers, thank you very much. good evening 10:00 on the east coast. hoboken, new jersey, the fallout from sandy, still coming. new york governor andrew cuomo

so many calls for you to come back. i hope that you will. carol costello has your cnn newsroom. >> don is a generous guy. i admire that. >> i think he's making it up. >> have a great weekend. >>> stories we're watching right now in the newsroom, they are the elite of the elite. the best of the best. now several members of s.e.a.l. team six are in deep trouble. and it's all because of a video game. >>> plus this -- >> waiting in line here, 8 1/2 hours, is not fun. >> you heard it. eight hours for gas. we'll take you inside the plan to get the east coast gas shortage under control. >>> and in florida, election 2012 is not over yet. the rest of the country has moved on, but once again, florida just can't seem to get it together. got the munchies, colorado? quarterback peyton manning may be able to cure those off-the-field cravings. "newsroom" strt starts right n. >>> and good morning. happy, happy friday to you. i'm carol costello. we peer over the nation's so-called fiscal cliff. it's a term you'll be hearing a lot more of. we're just 53 days from a series of extreme tax hikes a

moos, cnn, new york. >> good morning, everyone. i'm randi kaye. >> and i'm victor blackwell. it's 8:00 on the east coast. acout west. thanks store starting your day with us. >> we start this morning with politics and the countdown to election day. there are just three days left, and that means the candidates are going to be busy. this map shows the final stretch for the president. it means six swing states. mitt romney trying to hit eight states in his final push. that includes a stop in new hampshire this morning, and we'll take you there live in our next hour. we've got correspondents spread throughout the battleground states to bring you the latest on the election and the final push for both the candidates. >> now, one of the states where both candidates will be making several stops, ohio. you knew that was coming. cnn's white house correspondent dan lothian is in mentor, ohio where president obama will be campaigning later this morning. dan, the crowds for 2012 have not been as big as the 2008 crowds. big turnout expected for his last campaign weekend though? >> reporter: oh, de

the white house without caring ohio. a cnn poll shows president obama with a three-point lead over mitt romney in the state. the question is can he maintain it? ali velshi, jon avalon with us now. they've been talking to locals in a restaurant in youngstown, ohio. good to see you, guys. it's been very, very busy, i know. ali, i want to start off with you. 2008 president obama won ohio by four points. you have been talking to a lot of undecided folks. does it seem like he is going to get it? is it leaning his way? what are they telling you? >> it's tight. it's tight in ohio. i mean, all of these numbers are within the statistical margins of error. we're in place of youngstown that has been destroyed by the economy over decades. this was the second biggest steeltown after pittsburgh. then lost steel. then oil factories. lordstown which nearly got crushed during the recession. it's back. it's got three shifts. it makes the chevy cruz, and they have fracking. some people say it brings earthquakes. some locals say so what, we need the jobs. i spoke to one supporter who is going to support pr

with us online here. you can follow us on cnn weather on twitter. we'll give you all the latest information. >>> president obama back at the white house. it wasn't the welcome that his staff had intended. they wanted to greet him on the south lawn. but the bad weather changed those plans. the first family took air force one then arrived at the white house by motorcade instead. >> the president's first order of business, avoiding the fiscal cliff. congressional leaders from both parties conceding the election with a call to compromise. what that comprise is, that hasn't been ironed out. w we'll get to what they said. >> the presidential vase over except in florida. the electoral votes are i will stun claimed. they're not make or break this time. president obama still holds a lead there. >> seven house races still up for grabs this morning across the country including the heated contest on florida's treasure coast between tea party republican allen west and democratic challenger patrick murphy. right now murphy does have a very slim lead of less than 2500 votes. but west not conce

. and even with a depressed turnout, they are likely to go for president obama any way. jessica yellin, cnn, the white house. >> i'm here with the hoboken mayor dawn zimmer. what a difference a day makes. last night the national guard hadn't yet arrived and here's what she said last night. >> i'm asking for the national guard to come in. we are desperate for the national guard to come in. we need specialized equipment to get to people and evacuate those that haven't been evacuated. i have been ask canning them. there's a chain of command. >> what are you hearing. >> they are coming, they are coming but they are not here. >> that was last night. we aired that at 8:00. shortly after you got word that the national guard was coming. they arrived at 1:00 a.m. how are things today. >> we appreciate governor christie working to make sure the national guard came in and actually got a call from the white house and really appreciate -- there is some miscommunications that happened but president obama is really focused on making sure if there is a miscommunication he wants to know about it. really app

and gallup have 49 romney, 48 obama. cnn has it tied 49%, 49%. mom moth 48%, 448. you know what my two favorite polls out of those five are? >> bill: abc? >> yeah. absolutely. 50 obama, 47 ron romney. of course they are 35 democrat. 29 republic for 6 democrat advantage that is one point less than they had in 2008. i don't know of any sane person who thinks that the democrat intensity in this election is going to match it. it's going to be somewhere like 3, 2, 1, or gallup says 1 point more republic than democrat. in which case obama's lead is wiped out in that poll. >> bill: i want to asurety audience on wednesday we will deal with the pollsters who may have put them thumb on the scale. >> cnn is another one. they have tied poll with 11 points more democrat. >> bill: that says that romney would win because they are stacking. >> absolutely. let's get into your electoral college map. i agree with almost every one of your selections here except new hampshire. i think the neighborhood matters. this was a state that bush won in 2000 and lost in 2004. why? because there was the guy from next

survived hot dogs in a twin kell, what's a hill turtwinkie? cnn, genjeanne moos, new york. >> log on to cnn.com/video if you need more laughing. i'm martin savidge at cnn national headquarters in atlanta. "deadly dose," dr. sanjay gupta's special report begins right now. . 6 . >> i took a few methadone from my grandpa. they were 10 milligrams. >> what you're listening to are actual calls. >> how is he acting? >> at the washington poison center in seattle. >> just drowsy. okay. >> and lately more and more of them sound something like this. >> and today i took about 90 milligrams of percocet. >> oh, you did? >> 6:00 i wasn't really thinking and i did a bar of xanax and i'm reading all this stuff online about thousand that's a very lethal kbicombination. i have a lot of friends who died during their sleep and i wasn't really sleeping. now i'm wondering if i should stay up tonight. >> that kind of call to me is really scary. >> oh, it is scary. >> what goes through your mind? >> i'd be very frightened about that young man not making it through the night. >> dr. bill hurley is the medi

intelligence committee wants to be briefed both by petraeus and his replacement, michael morrell. cnn's jill dougherty is at the state department digging into some of this really confusing web i think it's fair to say. good morning to you, jill. >> hey, soledad. you know, let's begin with that honorary consul general. in tampa, apparently, from what we can understand, jill kelley was totally a volunteer. she was a volunteer with an international organization that greets international visitors, and then also, in some capacity, she was helping to promote a trade agreement with south korea. at least that is the understanding. and in that capacity, the south korean government, according to yonhap news agency, which is the official south korean news agency, they gave her an honorary consul appointment. it has no legal standing. it is not a diplomatic post. it is totally voluntary. and has no rights. so when she is saying there, you know, my property is inviolable, it would appear at this stage to be, let's say, a gross exaggeration of what's going on. but that doesn't mean that she didn't have co

to negotiate a cease-fire. but they're not talking directly to one another. cnn's anderson cooper is live for us this morning from gaza city. anderson, good morning. set the scene for us there. >> yeah, good morning. as you said it has been another day of explosions here and rockets being fired toward israel. i saw at least five rockets being fired over the last several hours toward israel from here in gaza city. which is where most of the rockets are being fired from. and also a number of explosions incoming rockets, or air strikes by israeli forces throughout the day. at least more than a dozen that i've heard over the last several hours. don't have any reports, really, on casualties today. we just had a rocket go off right there. neil, if you can zoom in. you can see the trail right there in the sky. that would be the sixth rocket that we've heard over the last several hours. there was a response from the israeli defense forces earlier to some of the rockets, at least two of the rockets that were being fired. there was an explosion in the area where those rockets were fired from. this

find stunning. we have cnn polls and says what happens if these others are on the ballot. i have got news for you, they are on the ballot. those are the polls you should have been doing all along. let's take colorado, very important swing state. president obama when the question is just posed obama versus romney, he leads by two points. 50-48. that's in the cnn poll. when you look at it as it is on the ballot, then obama still has the lead, but it's mayor 48-47. look at gary johnson the libertarian candidate with four points and jill stein with one point. and goode the constitution party candidate is less than a half percentage of a point. but when you put it together, you see how president obama's margin has narrowed. could it make a difference especially when the margin is that small? of course it could make a difference. gary johnson believes it could make a difference in two different ways. >> new mexico, colorado, and nevada i take more votes away from obama. in north carolina and michigan, i take votes away from romney. it's equal on both sides and the fact look i'm more libera

an interview on the 25th of november to cnn, and at that time senator lieberman referred to rice as having a distinguished career up until now. he says, i don't know how i feel about exactly what was said on television that sunday morning. he too in that interview has similar questions that we saw from other three senators. >> reporter: he's the chairman of the senate homeland security committee, so he has particular standing in this because he has from the beginning called for greater investigation about what went on in benghazi. his committee reached out to susan rice and the administration in the early weeks to get to the bottom of this apparent sort of misdirection, whether it was intentional or not is the political fight. they now acknowledge that there wasn't a spontaneous demonstration, and these senators who are critics want to know why was that the public talking point when those in the administration and intelligence community knew early on this was a terror attack? a lot of what they're focused on also is publicly we see about those sunday show appearances, because susan rice wa

at 49%, mitt romney at 47% and detroit press poll and cnn poll showed in colorado president obama at 50% and mitt romney at 48%. tonight president obama has an 81% chance of winning re-election. alex cwagner, so mike bloomberg somehow finally made up his mind. everyone is focused on the climate change. in that article he mentions the pez's position on abortion and the health care law. so this isn't just this week. this is something that mayor bloomberg has been thinking about for some time and it is coming as the president finished the bromance tour with chris christie. it is a good week for the president. >> when you read the mayor's reasons, what was he waiting for. there wasn't a single thing that he was in line for? >> it seems to me that he is someone who has a large conception on his role on american national affairs and an early endorsement would not preserve that. the mayor's people say there is off the recoorecord reporters ae time. if you look at the economists the center right conservative publication, what you see is that the president's record is who he is and how he has go

received from the cnn/orc survey since may. the majority of people say his experience over the past four years will make him a better president in the second term. there is measured optimism, however, about the future. 56% believe the country will be better off four years from now. compare that to four years ago when 76% felt that way. >>> and governor chris christie also getting great numbers for his second-term run. the republican governor filed paperwork yesterday for re-election. christie currently enjoys record high approval ratings following his hands-on approach to hurricane sandy. now, before the storm, 56% of registered voters in the garden state approved of the job that he is doing. after sandy, those same voters were surveyed again, gave chris a 77% approval rating. >> nice. >> that's j

. that has not changed. our new cnn poll shows 49% to 46% in favor of the president. john is in youngstown, ohio. john, let me ask you this, if it's this tight in ohio, is it possible we will not know who won the election on election night? >> reporter: that is what county officials call the nightmare is scenario. here's what it could look like. right now 1.4 million ohioans requested an early ballot, but only half have returned them. now, if they go to the polls on election day, they can't vote unless they cast a provision ol ballot. those votes won't be counted for ten days. so if ohio is close, it won't be november 6, it could be november 16 before we know who won ohio and possibly the presidency. >> oh, wow. that is a nightmare scenario. i think for everyone in this country. >> it is halloween, erin. >> i know the focus there is on early voting, and i know you've spoken to some important people in ohio this week. u.s. senators and republican rob portman. here they are. >> the other side has so much more money and we win by grassroots politics. that means early voting, getting organized

a president who actually understands job creation. >> our cnn orc poll shows obama at 50 and romney at 48. we begin with one of the hardest hit areas from hurricane sandy, staten island where the death toll continues to rise. with me now is the assemblywoman of new york nicole malliotakis and another resident of staten island, anthony, who rescued his brother from the storm. welcome to you both. >> thank you very much. >> let me start with you, if i may, assemblywoman. this is what the staten island president james molinaro said about the red cross response. he said it's an absolute disgrace. he said he was so infuriated and outraged by the lack of help that you've been receiving. do you endorse what he said? >> well, i think it was a sentiment of frustration this morning because we hadn't had seen a real response here in staten island but we had our senators out here today and i can say that the red cross is on the grounds right now. we have them at certain locations. giving food, giving water. and also our community has been out there collecting donated goods and distributing them out in th

of the campaign. in ohio a brand new cnn poll shows president obama with a 3-point lead over mitt romney, but it is the all-important 50% marker, so it's 50%/47%. good for obama. in new hampshire a new poll from new england college finds president obama with a 6-point lead. that's solid. 50%/44%. in wisconsin a new poll from st. norbert college has the president up 9, 52%/43%. that's a surprise. here is a poll from that hot senate race in indiana. i love this one. joe donnelly of notre dame has an 11-point lead over richard mourdock with the libertarian candidate at 6%. speaking for the democrats, of course. we'll be right back. >>> welcome back to "hardball." we've gotten to the point in this campaign where you count hours, not days, and in this remaining precious time, you can tell where barack obama and mitt romney think this race will be won or lost. just take a look at their travel schedules through election day. for the president, colorado, iowa, wisconsin, ohio, new hampshire, virginia, and florida, of course. for governor romney, those same seven states plus his newly contested e

, pennsylvania, and virginia. stay with cnn. we'll have live coverage from the campaign trail all day. >>> now for the latest on the superstorm, sandy. the storm is blamed for at least 111 deaths in the u.s. meantime shall as survivors try to recover, thousands of people still without power dealing with the cold now. forecasters say temperatures are expected to drop below freezing tonight and tomorrow evening. and sandwiches of comfort, we'll meet a lady making thousands to help out the victims. now back to fareed zakaria i can't gps. >>> sometimes the best way to think about big events, elections, crises, wars, is to step back and learn what we can from the past. that's why i brought together three of my favorite historians do just that and to help us figure out how the past can inform the present in this election. my guests are edmund morris. he has a new book out called "this living hand." sean wilentz also has a book out about ronald reagan and his times and many others including bob dylan and his times, a professor at princeton university and walter isaacson, the author of biographies of

or double miles on every purchase, every day! what's in your wallet? >> just one of our top ten cnn >> we are used to think of it starting here, looking like this but something happened in this country. and now, increasingly, it starts here, in your own home. >> as we speak, someone is dying, right now. >> and over the next hour, three people will die. >> he went to sleep and he had no idea this was gonna be his last night on earth. >> from misusing perfectly legal prescription drugs. taking a deadly dose. >> pointen center, this is debra. >> i'm a little concern had that may have taken something that wasn't good for me on accident. [ phone ringing ] >> i took a few methadone from my grandpa. they were 10 milligrams. >> what you are listening to are actual calls. >> how is he acting? >> at the washington poison center in seattle. >> just drowse? i okay. >> and lately, more and more of them sound something like this. >> and today, i took about 90 milligrams of percoset. >> oh you did? >> 6:00, i wasn't really thinking and i did a bar of xanax and i'm reading all this stuff online how

. the bombing as we just learned from cnn, it's continuing. >> just moments ago we're on the scenes. we'll watch this videotape as we watch what is unfolding. watch this. >> the day began as a day of diplomatcy. hillary clinton went to israel, and this is what they were trying to work out all day. [ explosion ] >> another day of violence in gaza. israeli airstrikes killed a senior militant and five others on an attack on a car. elsewhere, mass mitt tonights killed six people expected collaborating with israel. as attacks were both sides continue. >> i caution against a ground operation. >> diplomats converged on the region including secretary of state, hillary clinton. >> i can assure you that she'll be meeting with the palestinian authority. >> the goal of the egyptian-led negotiation is to broker an immediate end to the fighting, which cannot happen until both sides lay down their arms. >> israel will not hesitate to do what is necessary to defend our people. >> i'm graced by the presence of patriciatricia rose secretary clinton cut short her trip to asia. she went there in the hopes of a ceas

in this election. but i think he's had a bigger victory than what those numbers indicate and that's in this cnn poll that comes up and it shows today how effective the president's leadership has been on this tax issue because the country agrees with him and more people agree with him than voted for him on this particular issue. it's overwhelmingly in favor of the president's position on this and the republicans are reading that poll and their future is in that poll. >> and the republican party for too long has been driven by their primary electorate. they've been afraid of grover norquist and the tea party coming after them in primaries, but the more we see republicans coming out, reaching across the aisle, there are safety in numbers. so, it looks like there is going to be a genuine move to the center. >> here's what glover is hoping for, that we go off the cliff. then you go off without violating grover's quest. what he needs is the claim his pledge still exists. >> these people are idealogues, but they're also power hungry. he's a washington guy, a lobbiest and wants to find a way out. >> th

on cnn. let's watch. >> i don't see any movement toward ts republicans wanting to raise taxes or people wanting to break their pledge. in fact, to be fair to everybody, some of these people have had impure thoughts. no one has pulled the trigger and voted for a tax increase. >> nothing's changed. he's also lying. they have indeed voted for a tax increase. senator tom coburn introduced last year, a bill in the senate to close the ethanol tax credit. saxby chambliss voted for it and violated their grover norquist pledge for it. >> and also, just by voting for the sequester, they have signalled their willingness to allow steep cuts in defense and tax increases. i mean, he can pretend their clothes are still in his closet and that means they're coming back, but that doesn't mean they're coming back. >> grover norquist is going to be the last person in washington to admit he is irrelevant. it is over, grover. >> yeah, people aren't quick to admit their irrelevance in washington. "wall street journal" board is even pushing grover norquist on this. they said president obama's re-election means

with a lack at some of the other stories making news today. good morning. >> good morning, soledad. cnn is projecting that ann kirkpatrick will return to congress. she barely beat republican challenger, jonathan payton. yet several house races are still up for grabs across the country this morning. in palm springs, california, republican mary bono mack, she's not giving up. she trailed democrat raul luis with all precincts reporting, but she says a large number of ballots have yet to be reported. mack's husband, connie mack, lost his bid in florida to bill nelson. in another tight race, alan west is not conceding defeat. he's demanding a partial recount in his re-election bid against democratic challenger patrick murphy. right now murphy has a very slim lead of less than 2,100 votes, but that's slightly more than what's needed to trigger an automatic recount. >>> the man behind that anti-muslim movie that caused so much rage overseas has been sentenced to a year in federal prison. mark youssif admit head used an alias without permission. he allegedly made a different name when he made t

points. i want to learn something, not just be entertained. >> it is not as exciting as cnn or fox, but you get the real story. i like it. >> darrell and mary lynch watch c-span on a comcast. by america's cable companies in 1979 and provided as a public service. at a campaign event today, rob portman and senate candidate joshed mandel courage schroders to vote early for the romney- ryan ticket. this is part of the bus tour that began october 2. it is half an hour. >> good evening. we are very glad to have senator portman and the next u.s. senator from ohio with us. [applause] i am congressman mike turner. yesterday, we were with mitt romney in dayton, ohio, doing a disaster relief effort for the victims of hurricane sandy. it was great to see the energy and excitement that mitt romney in this state brought. he was with paul ryan as he started on saturday and went down -- i think the momentum is with us. people are excited. people are excited about what a president mitt romney means. we will and these trillion dollar deficit. [applause] we will and these trillion dollar deficits, st

. the election could come down to ohio. our new cnn poll shows 49-46 in favor of the president. he is in youngstown, ohio. don, let me ask you this, is it possible we may not know who won the election on election night? >> that is the nightmare scenario. here is what it could look like. 1.4 million ohioans have requested the ballots but they won't be counted until up to ten days after the election. it is within that margin of error. it could be november 16th before we know who won ohio and possibly the presidency. >> that is a nightmare scenario. it is halloween. >> and i know the focus there is on early voting and i know you have spoken to people in ohio this week. here they are. >> the other side has so much more money. and we win why grass roots politics and people going to the polls early voting. you can go down to tomorrow morning at 8:00 am. it is important. this enabled us to be free on election day. >> who has the upper hand on early voting, john. >> democrats have a narrow edge. a couple of thousand votes on the key districts. that is one of the reasons that the volunteers

said in a cnn debate to john king, privatize fema. >> right. >> consider turning it over the states. imagine if the states had no backing from washington in this crisis. imagine where they would be. so that's a subtext. i also think that the whole question of infrastructure and first responders and you know these -- >> government employees. >> -- government employees dewried by the republican party in the last couple of years and this again, nas 9/11, coming to the fore, understanding heroic quality and we need them, sometimes we need government to help people and that, as bill clinton and barack obama have been saying, this election is about, are we in this together or is it every person for themselves in. >> this is just to echo the first thing jonathan said, if you flip it around, this is a major republican talking point and they have basis to make this argument. why do you want to re-elect barack obama if they couldn't work across the aisle for four years. suddenly that talking point that argument gets stopped in its tracks by the pictures of barack obama and governor christie.

's also newsweek's washington bureau chief and host of cnn's "reliable sources." daily download's editor in chief lauren ashburn could not be with us tonight. howie, welcome back. >> thank you. >> warner: so in this final week or ten days of the campaign we've seen this frantic get out the vote drive, people knocking on doors, making phone calls. what kind of last-minute message are people get on their computers and mobile devices. >> the campaign is pulling out the stops on line, on twitter, for example, lauren ashburn got a direct message signed barack obama saying "use your twitter influence to help us turn out the vote." so using that network to get people engaged. e-mails are becoming fast and furious to potential supporters. i seem to get an e-mail from barack obama, michelle, joe biden has been texting me lately. there's no escape. another interesting thing, margaret, is i got an unsolicited anti-obama text message from an anonymous source and lots of people in the washington area got there. mine said "seniors can't afford tour four more years of obama budget cuts to medicare." th

the final week of the complain. in ohio a brand new cnn poll shows president obama with a three-point lead over mitt romney, but is it the all-important 50% marker so it's 50%, 47%. good for obama. in a new hampshire a new poll from new england college finds president obama with a 6-point lead. that's solid. 50%/44%. in wisconsin a new poll from st. norbert college has the president up 9, 52%, 43%. that's a surprise. here is a poll from that hot senate race in indiana. i love this one. joe donnelly of notre dame has an 11-point lead over richard mourdock with the libertarian candidate at 6%. speaking for the democrats, of course. we'll be right back. ♪ so you went right back to the pathfinder's essence, kept its dna, and created the next-gen s.u.v. starting with a drivetrain that gives best-in-class fuel economy of 26 miles per gallon, highway... ♪ ...and intuitive 4-wheel drive? ♪ if inside it had best-in-class front, head, and leg room and interior roominess? and outside, best-in-class standard towing of 5,000 pounds? ♪ [ whistles ] [ all scream, laugh ] [ male announcer ] yeah,

in the key state of ohio. today the latest cnn poll shows obama with a very slight edge there, but there's everything to play for. today, the last jobs report before election day was released. unemployment ticking up to 7.9%, but at the same time, 171,000 jobs were created. no surprise, both candidates reacted differently to the news. >> today, our businesses have created nearly five and a half million new jobs. this morning we learned that companies hired more workers in october than at any time in the last eight months. >> he said he was going to lower the unemployment rate down to 5.2% right now. today, we learned that it's actually 7.9% and that's nine million jobs short of what he promised. unemployment is higher today than when barack obama took office. >> mitt romney earlier today. you're looking at live pictures now from westchester in ohio, where rudy giuliani, the former mayor of new york, has given a blistering speech attacking barack obama. in a few minutes, he will be on this show live and exclusive to tell me why he feels so strongly why the president should leave the offic

in colorado. even cnn was reporting that the crowds were much smaller this year. >> but, tom, you're focused on the closing arguments. >> they are negative, about keeping the other guy out. it's not about enthusiasm with all due respect, mr. mayor, for the candidates on either side. there's great fear in the republican party that obama will get four more years. there's not a passion al love affair with mitt romney. there's been a lot of disappointment in your party with the president of the united states. on the other hand, there's greater fear that mitt romney is going to get into office. so more than any other time that i've been doing all of this, i have seen in the closing days fear take over. and more negative campaigning. it's not about me, it's about keeping the other guy out. i think that's what's going on here. >> savannah, we think about the question, why is it that incumbents lose? you go back to the first president bush. he had a problem with his base. no new taxes. he breaks that pledge. but also a down economy. jimmy carter has a down economy as well. and the reality is, that t

'm looking at, and you mentioned enthusiasm, and the other thing is the poll, independents. even cnn has a plus 11 democratic poll that is dead even but you look at independents you have romney in the 50s and obama in the 30s. let me show you something from madison, wisconsin. back to 2004, bruce springsteen out there, 80,000 people. barack obama this year, 12,000 or 18,000. you see this all over. you don't see those crowds. you don't see that enthusiasm that obama had i think in large part because he hasn't been successful. and i think that hope and change, enthusiasm has kind of washed away a little bit. >> either bruce springsteen has lost a lot of fans or the thrill is fading for barack obama. >> one or the other. >> and the truth of the matter is obama 2008, the reason why he did so well is because he promised to elevate the country, unite us, bring us together. he said very clearly you may not agree with me on everything but i'll bring us to go. that barack obama is long gone. what you have now is a divider, a person who deliberately pits americans against each other, has run a ver

story. and that is it. from cnn world headquarters in >> i took a few methadone from my grandpa. they were 10 milligrams. >> what you're listening to are actual calls. >> how is he acting? >> at the washington poison center in seattle. >> just drowsy. okay. >> and lately more and more of them sound something like this. >> and today i took about 90 milligrams of percocet. >> oh, you did? >> 6:00 i wasn't really thinking and i did a bar of xanax and i'm reading all this stuff online about thousand that's a very lethal combination. i have a lot of friends who died during their sleep and i wasn't really sleeping. now i'm wondering if i should stay up tonight. >> that kind of call to me is really scary. >> oh, it is scary. >> what goes through your mind? >> i'd be very frightened about that young man not making it through the night. >> dr. bil hurley is the medical director of poison center, also a trauma doctor. >> possibly too many meds. thai not sure what they have. >> we're in seattle in part because the problem is bad. >> this bottle still has quite a bit in it. >> but also beca
